Sun, 03 Mar 2013 05:07:10 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=300980#comment-450362The fact some players may still be taking PEDs is all the evidence we need to show that no one wants a 21st century instant replay system.

Sun, 03 Mar 2013 04:25:04 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=300980#comment-450354Following seligs logic here, i think he would lessen the penalties if he could catch more players. In all seriousness as been stated by cur keep samples for a longer period. Perhaps a decade after hof eligibility has passed and retest prior to any future award like hof nomination, all star roster made, mvp award, cy young etc, and also retest as tests change.

Sun, 03 Mar 2013 01:05:21 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=300980#comment-450261Know what we need stiffer penalties for? Grown men wearing blonde muskrats on their heads in an effort to appear younger. Seriously, every time I see that pic of Selig with the blonde hair-do I wanna grab the ole .410 and kill me some varmints starting with that bottle-blonde rat on his noggin’.

As to the issue at hand: stiffer penalties? What for? 5 + out of 5000 tests indicates “its working fine”. Keep samples for 5 years, re-test when new tests become available, announce the results and let the players live with it if they’re already retired and punish those that are still active. DONE.

From all indications no one wants to be known as a cheat in retirement no matter how much dough they’ve made. What’s more, if there’s even a whiff of steroids to the player the BBWAA have shown how they’ll handle HOF voting, so its a non-issue for The Hall.

Anyhow, I cannot take Selig, or anything he says, seriously if he’s going to go around with the head covering of an aging gigolo.

The guy has not even had so much as a Spring Training AB with the Phillies – how did he become “ours” with regards to a infraction that happened when he was playing for Detroit? A casual reader would think that susepension happened while in Philadelphia

On a serious note – Baseball does need to get it’s act together with regards to alcohol abuse

At this rate, Selig will be taking a stand on an MLB-wide DH rule via Gator’s Ouija board.

Those that got caught were using run of the mill testosterone. 1st offense, one year. 2nd offense, that’s all folks. That’ll get the players attention. Teams also have to lose their first round draft pick.

This is a repeating meme here, but unless the union wants to play nice nothing will or can happen

So let me get this straight?

The owners want something
The players want something in return for said something
The owners won’t do it

And it’s the players who are the bad guys here?

This is a repeating meme here, but unless the union wants to play nice nothing will or can happen. Instead of ripping MLB here, we may want to concentrate on the the other side of the table.
